Fistral Retreats at 16 Pentire Heights is a fabulous apartment. It is beautifully laid out and furnished and the kitchen is very well stocked with e everything you may need for a stay. The master bedroom has a great power shower in the en suite and the double room has ample closet and drawer space for 2 people. There was a very handy boot tray in the cupboard for sandy shoes and the wi-fi kept our kids happy inbetween the surf. There was also a ps2 and games incase you are having any withdrawals or waiting for the surf to come up. We found a super little path straight down to Fistral beach and the location is great for access to Crantock beach and visiting other areas in Cornwall. We found within an hour we could be in St Ives, Penzance and Truro. The owners Barbara & Cliff have secured a 15% discount with The Newquay Activity Centre on South Fistral beach and my children made great use of it booking activities most days. We highly recommend this centre as the activities, instructors and guidance was second to done. There is a Sainsburys within walking distance or 5 minute drive for all essentials. A super place to stay for comfort, location and cleanliness.

The apartment is in a great location on Pentire headland, a short walk on one side brings you to Fistral Beach (if you want a lively atmosphere) and on the other side brings you to Crantock Beach which is beautiful and, we found, a bit more peaceful. The bar/restaurant on the headland is nice to spend time in on a rainy day. The walk into Newquay took us about 20 mins.

We echo the sentiments of previous people who've left reviews; the apartment is lovely, stylish and well maintained. It offers a range of home-away-from-home amenities and a bit of luxury with a spa bath.

We'd happily stay here again and would recommend it to others.

This was our second visit to fistral retreats, and once again the apartment was just as superb as we remembered it. A real home from home with everything you could wish for, having been provided. The apartment is spotlessly clean with much thought and consideration having gone into its layout.The location is ideal for gentle walks on the headland and beach,both of which are only minutes from your door,alternatively Newquay town centre is approximately 1 mile away(also a great walk along fistral beach!),and if you don't fancy a walk the bus stop is only 100yds on the main road. We can't recommend this apartment highly enough, and if your looking for a relaxing home from home holiday in Cornwall then this is a must!. Thanks again for a wonderful stay, we will definitely be returning next year, Mike and Zoie

We arrived with our two year old grandson very early and very kindly, the property Manager let us into the apartment early due to the bad weather. The apartment was superb, very modern, clean and comfortable, equipped with everything that you need and more! All instructions for the equipment were clear and easy to follow. The views of Fistral Beach are stunning. Overall, we would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a peaceful retreat with lovely views and a short walk to the beach. Thanks very much to Barbara and Cliff, who phoned to make sure all was fab, which it was! Liam loved the shortbread!
